Numeracy in the classroom

This week the boys and girls have been learning lots of new concepts in numeracy. We have had a very successful week developing lots of new skills.

Some of the boys and girls were revising their numbers to 20. We worked on ordering the numbers correctly and matching the words to digits.

Millie and Monroe were very interested in learning how to multiple. We learned that 2 x 4 is the same as 2 groups of 4 or 4 + 4. We also learned that when we multiple by 2 we are just doubling the number.

We also spent some of the week working on solving word problems. All pupils worked extremely hard together to solve each problem. We looked at words which meant add and words which meant subtract to work out what operation we needed to use to answer the question. Each pair then explained how they solved each word problem.

Ruan and Joshua worked hard together using the numicon to make the story of 10.

There were lots of number patterns and colour patterns made this week.

WE 21.2.20

Primary 2b have had a very busy week this week. There has been lots of independent learning happening in our atrium.

Some of the boys and girls built an amazing spaceship using the bricks and wooden planks.

In science this week we were learning about the states of water. We learned that water can come in 3 different states, solid, liquid and solid. We conducted a range of experiments to test how water can change from a solid into a liquid. We discovered that salt lowers the melting temperature of ice as it melted quicker than the ice without anything on it. We also discovered that the boiling water melted the ice much faster than hot air.

We then sorted pictures of water in different forms into solid, liquid and gas.

After that we watched the process of evaporation and condensation. Miss McFlynn boiled the melted ice in the kettle. We knew it was boiling when the steam started to come out of the top. Miss McFlynn then held a mirror over the steam and we watched at the steam cooled down it turned back into a liquid.

This week we have also been learning how to insert an image from the web into google doc. Previously we have learned how to insert aa picture from the camera and insert a drawing.

Today we were very lucky to have experienced a little bit of Taekwondo. The boys and girls loved every minute of it as you can see below. All pupils have been issued with a leaflet which provides you with further information about the club on offer. Thank you to Hazel for coming.

Finally as today was world thinking day here are some of our pupils proudly showing off their uniform.

Our week 18/11/19

This week have had lots of fun learning new and exciting things.

Some of us started off the week with Miss Mobbs learning how to partition numbers. We looked at double digit numbers that have tens and units. We created our own numbers using the tens and units.

We enjoyed making use of our construction skills to create some amazing models using the Lego. Jamie made an ice cream. Amelia worked hard to build a house.

Some boys and girls were building cvc words. They worked hard to spell the words correctly and identify all the sounds.

We enjoyed using technology to practice our numeracy skills on sumdog.

This afternoon we continued learning about the weather. Today we focused on rain and Miss Mobbs taught us all about the water cycle. We learned about condensation and precipitation and even got to make our own rain clouds.
